1 Europe All Inclusive: Understanding the Current Migration Crisis, by Vaclaw Claus

*Europe All Inclusive*, a book by former Czech President Václav Klaus, co-authored by the Arab-speaking economist Jiří Weigl, recently published by Hungary’s Századvég School of Politics Foundation, has already been translated into six languages. The Századvég School of Politics Foundation is connected to the think tank Századvég, which, in turn, is close to the FIDESZ party led by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. In the book, the authors write <https://www.klaus.cz/clanky/4081>:

“What we see today is a similarly fundamental challenge to the future of Europe… and especially its ‘integrated’ part, is riddled with hypocrisy, pseudo-humanism and other dubious concepts. [When] the most dangerous of them are the currently fashionable, and ultimately suicidal, ideologies of multiculturalism and human-rightism…These ideologies promote the notion that migration is a human right, and that the right to migrate leads to further rights and entitlements including social welfare hand-outs for migrants… Europe is weakened by the leftist utopia of trying to transform a continent that was once proud of its past into an inefficient solidaristic state, turning its inhabitants from citizens into dependent clients.”

2. EU at clear risk of collapse, warns major new report by Gwytian Prins

The analysis concludes that the mounting complexity and declining legitimacy of the EU contains the seeds of its coming downfall, in much the same way that the Soviet empire imploded between 1989 and 1991.

It charts the rise and decline of what is now called the EU from the Schuman Plan of 1950 and the formation of the Common Agricultural Policy in 1958, saying that during the first 45 years of its life, the benefits of the various integrationist steps outweighed the drawbacks for the promoters of Europe federalism. But from the formation of the Euro nearly 20 years ago, the Union has been on the slide as its peoples have come to resent and oppose growing interference in their lives and the lives of their countries driven by high priests of the federal superstate – adherents of the so-called “Vanguard Myth”.
